Bill Snyder on K-State QBs: ‘The pecking order is pretty much in place’ | The Kansas City Star

Kansas State football coach Bill Snyder says the team’s depth chart remains unchanged at quarterback.

When healthy, Jesse Ertz is the starter and Alex Delton is the backup. Skylar Thompson, despite leading the Wildcats to a wild come-from-behind victory over Texas Tech on Saturday, is third in line.

“The pecking order is pretty much in place right now,” Snyder said Monday during the Big 12 teleconference. “But Skylar has played well in each of the past two ballgames.”

Thompson, a redshirt freshman from Independence, Mo., served as the second-half quarterback in each of the past two games -- a 30-20 victory at Kansas and a 42-35 overtime win at Texas Tech.
